CWM-100 Central WiFiManager

For wireless access, D-Link SMB APs can support 8 SSIDs per radio, which

means administrators can use one SSID to create a guest network for visitors.

Central WiFiManager expands on that built-in feature and allows for multiple

user authentications. Access controls can be congured per SSID as well,

allowing network administrators to congure separate internal networks for

dierent subnets. This means that more advanced value added services such

as a captive portal or Wi-Fi hotspots can be used to help manage wireless

network trac.

Flexible Expansion and Deployment Options

Unlike traditional hardware controller solutions for managing wireless

access points, Central WiFiManager has a much lower initial investment cost

as it comes bundled with many D-Link access points

and there are no per

access point license charges. With the simple to use installation tool, it is

easy to expand the wireless network in the future. Adding devices to Central

WiFiManager is done automatically when new access points are discovered

on the network, allowing new devices to be quickly managed and deployed.

Central WiFiManager also automatically manages RF output for multiple

access points, optimising the number of available wireless channels and

coverage. This results in reduced channel interference and provides faster

total bandwidth throughput and connection reliability. By optimising the

coverage area and connection quality, Central WiFiManager enables network

administrators to provide a better wireless service at a lower deployment

cost, resulting in a higher return on investment.

Deploying Central WiFiManager is also much simpler compared to traditional

hardware controller solutions as it can be installed on any server running

a recent version of Microsoft Windows

. Central WiFiManager software

operates transparently on the network meaning the access point can be

deployed anywhere in a customer’s Layer 2/3 environment. Management

trac to and from the target access points will go through an authorised

tunnel to Central WiFiManager while normal network trac will go through

existing networking infrastructure unimpeded. The Central WiFiManager

management interface is also remotely accessible via its built-in web server.

Administrators can use a web browser to connect to computers with Central

WiFiManager installed to manage their WLAN network and wireless access

points from anywhere.

to easily control Wi-Fi access
